Minerals are found in gneiss and amphibolites, all along a large collecting area.
SEM-WDS analysis of stilbite-Ca has shown that Ca is the dominant extra-framework cation, accompanied by significant amounts of K and Sr, minor Na, and traces of Ba and Mg (Bosio & Lovskaya, 2007).
Forno Pass is located on the watershed between Devero and Vannino. Host rock and mineral paragenesis are about equal to the ones found at the neighbouring Forno Glacier (https://www.mindat.org/loc-145797.html) .
This entry can be intended for samples found on the SW slopes from Cima di Cust to Punte del Forno, and surroundings.
